Ask: keep the senate language that limits MYF to FY2024 levels.

Every $1 in NIH funding generates $2.5+ in economic activity, undermining that is a self-inflicted wound we can't afford.

The ripple effects hit taxpayers hard: Slower growth means larger deficits, higher interest rates on U.S. debt (potentially adding basis points to yields), and increased cost of living through stagnant wages, pricier healthcare, and inflation from lost productivity.

China is already closing the gap in biotech R&D, and this could hand them the lead, weakening our national security and economic edge.

Expanding MYF slashes new grant awards, reduce total grants by 25-50% in transition years, stifling innovation in cancer, Alzheimer's, and chronic diseases. We're risking a talent drain, with researchers fleeing to China or Europe, eroding U.S. competitiveness.

They'll BLOCK NIH funding bill unless it EXPANDS multi-year grants (MYF), already closing labs & killing innovation, talent drain to China, lost U.S. edge, slower growth → higher deficits, borrowing rates & cost of living for taxpayers.
Contact your Reps NOW. stop this before it's too late!

Cut NIH? Saves peanuts but risks spiking rates & costing us BILLIONS more in interest. Real cuts: Tackle 70%+ entitlements bloat.Protect what keeps America #1! #MAGA #AmericaFirst #CutTheWaste #Innovation

This was driven by taxpayer-funded (#NIH) science. The return is clear: longer lasting implants, lower lifetime care costs, stronger rehab options for injured service members, and more U.S. jobs in high-tech biomedical engineering. #AmericanJobs #NIH #NSF

Using a physics-based finite element model, we identified how small brain–electrode shifts create strain fields that correspond to future recording quality. This reveals mechanical failure in real-world scenarios before they appear clinically.

📉 The core problem: even the best brain–computer interface electrodes slowly lose signal quality. This limits prosthetic control for veterans with limb loss, communication for people with paralysis, and long-term independence for many Americans.
